Soothing the Savage Breast -- In one ear and out the other... I've just been handed a Musical Baton that's slip sliding around the blogosphere. This one came to me from the Creative Generalist (Thanks, Steve - I was amazed to see you listening to Beautiful People. I'm the only other person I know who knows them.) via caff, Brand New, Russell Davies, thingsmagazine, and so on...
Total volume of music on my computer: 4937 songs (or 17 days, 20.8 GB)
The last CD I bought: Terry Riley - Riley: In C (25th Anniversary Concert) (bought via iTunes today.) (Last physical CD bought: Brian Wilson - Smile)
Song playing right now: Pere Ubu - Cry, Cry, Cry (from Worlds in Collision)
Five songs I listen to a lot, or mean a lot to me: Do Something Different - Brave Combo (mine's from Polka Comes to Your Haus! - Compilation) Clarinet Concerto (or Quintet) - Mozart Quodlibet - Peter Schickele (aka PDQ Bach) Think Too Much - Paul Simon (Hearts and Bones) Hallelujah - Leonard Cohen (Various Positions)
(Five is definitely way, way too few. How can I leave out Mahler, Manhattan Transfer, Bach, John Hartford, Mingus, Laurie Anderson, and Philip Glass? See my personal blog for another recent review of my listening habits.)
Five people I'm passively passing this on to: Jack, Joe, Esther, Johanna, and Glen. Take a break from your knowledge, lean, and project management, folks, and run with it!
